Prembly Peleza merger Prembly Group: A leading KYC/KYB solution provider for identity verification and document verification, Prembly, has entered a strategic partnership with Kenyan identity management firm Peleza, to form Prembly Group.
The strategic alliance aims to leverage synergies to enhance service delivery across multiple sectors, including finance, telecommunications, e-commerce and more.
The merger is expected to streamline digital solutions for emerging companies and some governments in Africa, helping them navigate local markets and overcome adoption challenges.
Founded in 2021, Prembly has quickly become a key player in the digital security and infrastructure space, serving enterprises and global companies by helping them expand into emerging markets and positioning the continent as the next hub for growth.
Kenya’s Peleza, on the other hand, has developed AI-powered solutions that offer KYC, KYB, and background checks solutions for instant and seamless identity verification, background checks, and business onboarding to the entire client lifecycle and user-based management.
The merger of the two companies, the partners said, made the new combined entity the most robust data infrastructure and compliance solutions company serving emerging markets.
Marita Mutemi, founder of Peleza and the newly appointed CFO of Prembly Group expressed his delight with the partnership.
He said, “This merger is a natural extension of our longstanding partnership. By combining our expertise and resources, we are well-positioned to expand our service offerings and reach a wider customer base.”
